Saying Good-bye

I just wanted to put a quick note on and say that my mom passed away last night. We got the news yesterday afternoon that she was not likely to make it through the night, so we packed up as fast as we could to make it in time, but mom needed to go. We arrived about 8 this morning and was able to say good-bye. That is all I will say for now....you can check out my mom's blog for more info if you are interested.
Thank you everyone for your love and support!

Michelle I am so sorry for your loss! My heart aches for you! Your mom was one of the sweetest and kindest people I have ever met. Her memory will continue on in the way you live your life. You truly are your mother's daughter. I love you and I am thinking of you. Please let me know the details on the funeral. I want to try and make it up for it!

Love you!

I"m so sorry Michelle. I'm glad that you were able to say your own goodbye, even if it was after she had passed. When I saw those pics of you and and her and especially of Colby saying goodbye, I could not stop crying. I'm glad that she is at peace and pain free at last. We love you Michelle and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers!!

I was so sad to hear the news yesterday morning, and cried a lot as I read the last few posts on your mom's blog. The picture of you at your mom's bedside is so beautiful, I'm tearing up just thinking about it. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you. We love you so much and are praying for you and your family. Crystal is right, you have been amazing through this whole thing. I look up to you so much, and pray you are blessed with comfort and peace in these coming days.

Michelle (Mugsy),
I just got back into town last night and received a call from Linds letting me know about your Mom. I just want you to know I'm thinking about you and your family and wish I was there to just hug it away! Your Mom was always so sweet and I so remember her beautiful smile! What an incredible woman you are, as you were right by her side. I'm glad you were able to spend the last several weeks with her...moments you will truely cherish. I love you my friend and wanted you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

-Heather
Yours and Colby's pictures with your Mom are absolutely precious!

Hi, Michelle. It's been years since I've seen you and I was so excited when I randomly came across your blog. However, I am so sad to see this post about your mom. I'm so sorry. My dad died from cancer shortly after Tyler and I got married... my heart truly goes out to you.

You have such a beautiful family! I enjoyed taking a peek at your blog.
With love, Laura Call (Heistand)
